WESTWOOD — A truck carrying thousands of lobsters collided with a commuter rail bridge on Tuesday just before dawn, disrupting service to a portion of the line for hours during the morning rush.

The truck, carrying 7,000 pounds of fresh lobsters, collided with a railroad bridge on East Street at 4:50 a.m. according to Westwood Police when its roof clipped the underside of the bridge. The bridge has a height clearance of 10.6 feet while the truck carrying the lobsters was 13 feet tall.

The truck briefly caught fire when its refrigeration unit ignited immediately after the crash. Westwood Fire extinguished the fire shortly after their arrival on scene. It's unknown at this time if the bridge sustained any fire damage.

According to pictures posted by Westwood Police, the truck's roof was nearly torn off.

No injuries were reported as a result of the crash, though all of the lobsters were disposed of by cleanup crews. The driver was from Portland, Maine, according to police.

The East Street Bridge carries commuter rail trains on the Franklin Line and as of 11 a.m. service on that line was still experiencing residual delays.
